The Official Firefox Extension Thread

#1

Post by AYHJA »

I am going to completely uninstall and then reinstall Firefox...I intend to rebuild it, only this time time I want to keep track of the extensions that I use , talk about them, and share them with you guys...

I hardly doubt anybody is online more than me, I consider myself to be a great technical resource on that matter alone, LoL...So, I will list my Extensions as I go along, tell about what they do, ease of use, whether its necessary, etc, and offer any support to those that need it...

First things first, get and install Firefox from the homepage, http://www.AYHJA.com if you do not already have it...

To install the extension, when you click "Install," save the extension to a folder on your computer...Then, in your Firefox window, click on "Tools" and then "Extensions"...Once the little Extensions window pops up, use windows explorer to drag and drop the .xpi file into it...After you ahve done that, and the extension is installed, restart firefox and navigate back to the Extensions window to configure it...

Code: Select all
